sherku: fingers

He may have
A stud body
I have my
Fingers with
A gentle
And kind touch

Catching up on some created earlier and found in various states of draft

sherku: divide

Elephant
to Man
the other
Is just present
Until we bridge
The divide

Composed after listening to Krista Tippett's On Being podcast

sherku: sunrise

Called to the
Kitchen, not to
Reach or open
But see the
Splendid sunrise

catching up to some of what I had written previously and found in various forms of draft

sherku: exercise

Exercise
Pants propped
Right leg last
Stepped out of
Would I had
Been there to help



What is a sherku?   


Coming up to the bedroom, I saw this article of clothing in a little pile and my imagination ran with it

exercise pants

sherku: Irish 5K

Irish 5k
Learning to
Gain power
From memories
Here in Pawtucket



What is a sherku?   


I grew up in Pawtucket and going back to run this Irish 5K race I find an emotional roller coaster ride.

sherku: new world view

The end of one
Day brings the
Beginning of
Another fresh start
New world view


What is a sherku?   


Found in my Evernotes (from Dec 2012) and apparently not published here

Sherku: crisscrossed

Crusty snow glistens
Brown leaves dancing
With crisscrossed
Shadows playing
In the breeze

sherku inspiration

What is a sherku?   

sherku: Valentine

Robin bounces
Along bare dogwood branch
Red breast, white snow
I love the contrast





What is a sherku?   

For Dolores - Valentine's Day 2013

sherku: threes

Good presents come
In threes, these words
Some money, and
This plant to watch
As it grows


for Brianna, Christmas 2012

sherku: December

the snow melted
and left us
with moths fluttering
at the window
confused

sherku: star spangled

Before work life
Takes over
Find me running
Franklin streets
By dawns early light

sherku: hurricane sandy

futility
is raking leaves
when the big storm
is known to be
on the way

sherku: gratefulness

Gratefulness
Runs deep
Revealing
Autumn colors
This birthday
For my love



For Dolores

sherku: mumbles

murmurs distract

mumbles linger

her words catch

ears, attention

bringing silence

Inspired during the recent Dodge Poetry Festival

sherku: question

Church pews
Narrow aisles
Safe space sitting
Recording forces
Movement to ask
